Very recently, maybe yesterday, the presumptive republican nominee for President told a bunch of Republican lawmakers that he wants to start a UFC/migrant Bumfight League and it reminded me of a below D-list movie I saw (and posted about here, I believe) that said it starred Sam Jackson but he was only in a half a minute of it.
Anyway, people were kidnapped off the street and forced to fight in cage matches that the internet bet on. This is, and that it made very little logical sense, is what I remember of the movie. Anyone else remember it? What’s the name? I want to be ready for when the morons take over again. No, this isn’t a bad opinion. Anybody who wants to start a migrant/UFC fight club is a moron. That’s just plain facts!
I KNOW I didn’t make up this movie.

> Saw this movie on Netflix and was suprised that it wasn’t has horrible as expected. It advertised it starred Samuel L. Jackson and, sure enough, he’s one of the stars. Also starring some drooly guy and a woman who liked being naked a lot. Lemme see if I can summarize this movie quickly.

For real. Me and hubby watched with our jaws dropped at the stupidity of it. But we watched the whole dang thing. Now Trump has me searching for it again. Ah, the Dumbing of America.
